Some of Manchester’s most mistreated inner-city areas are among those to have been shortlisted for this year’s RHS and MEN Ginnel Garden Competition.
The Manchester Evening News spoke to some of the nominees in the Ginnel Garden Competition ahead of the final announcement coming soon, where the winner will be invited to attend the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show opening on 19 July and will win £1,000 to help transform their communal alley.
Nick Roberts, who lives on Landcross Road, in Fallowfield, has helped restore a section of the alley - off Furness Road - to deter anti-social actions and protect the birds, ducks, bees and butterflies that populate in the little green oasis.
